Bill Tupou : Sun Feb 25, 2018 4:35 pm  

Would like emphasise a massive positive this season , Bill Tupou , thought he is having a great year. Even back to the Boxing Day game v Leeds, he shone out.
I don’t think we have hit all the high spots in attack yet across the park but every time Bill gets the ball , he’s a threat . Not many in the media pick Bill out when looking at our stars but he must consistently score 8-9 out of 10 each week which is great to see.

I agree. I wasn't sure he'd settle at centre when he first started with us but he is a real threat for us.

Bill has always had the ability, the only thing missing was his ability to pass, which he seems to have sorted

He is a class act.

Agree but for me, I thought he was excellent last year and is one of the most underrated players in the League like Ashurst. He came to us as a powerful winger and over the course of the last few years, we have turned him into a top quality Centre who IMO would walk into just about every team.

Other than Watkins, I can’t think of a better centre at the moment.

Agree with the OP - he's up there as one of the best centres in SL right now. I don't know what the technique is that certain players use to break first contact, but BT definitely has it - he always seems to shrug off the first couple of defenders, and now he's found a pass, that makes him even more dangerous when he can get the ball away.

Cracking player - great signing.

Funny this because only a year ago many on here said he was never a centre in a million years, couldn't pass a ball blah blah.

Where are these voices now I wonder? Forum experts you gotta love them.

At risk of being modded, "if a democracy cannot change it's mind, it ceases to be a democracy." Uncharacteristically wise words from an otherwise blithering idiot.
